Wouldn't it make more sense to just pay 45 for a new deluxe account(you can adopt the dragon on what ever account you choose) than to buy it on ebay??? I'm just saying...............

BTW-I wish I could get one. As much as we like the dragon I'm not as upset set as I have been with other pets like the Sparkling pegasus,Silk sparrow, Chili, & the Swordfish that they teased us with only to say later sorry not for regular sale.We got SO excited just to be crushed. At least this time they let us know right away that this webbie was a promotion.
Congratz to all the lucky ones.

Of course it would!

I am not sure why they put the fine print so little: "The Golden Deluxe Dragon Online-Only Pet will not be available for sale at the Ganz eStore". I barely saw it even with magnifying my screen (and the more I magnify, the blurrier it gets!).

I think there will be a lot of people who will be willing to pay for this pet on eBay. There will be people who will make a profit off of it (even if they sell it for $15) and there will be a lot of people willing to pay that price for it. If I saw one on eBay right now for $15, I would buy it instead of going through the hassle of opening and taking care of another account! (I know it isn't available yet, but if it was then I would get it!)

Mine expires in a couple of weeks, so I went ahead and did it early. Mainly so I could get one of my newer accounts on deluxe. So I just barely missed out on this deal. Kinda frustrating, especially since it won't start on my old accounts until the time is up for them! Oh well, have no way of knowing what they're gonna offer I guess!

I did the same thing 3 days ago and added a new Deluxe for my DD new account so I've missed out on both offers bummer because I love dragons.

I'm sure it will be available to all eventually but free would have been better

My two cents whether it's agreed with or not....I think it's totally unrealistic to expect to take advantage of every special offer Ganz puts out there for Deluxe members or otherwise. I did not get the Chili hamster, or the Swordfish, or the Mint choc cow, among many other things, but this one coincides with my renewal. So I'm happy about that AND happy for those who have gotten the other specials and things that I have no access to or budget for. It's a nice bonus I wouldn't have expected but I would have renewed anyway. There are things we can't have in life, children or adults. They offer a free gift and every time it's a complaint. I don't get it. Especially with a virtual item.

I agree with this also. I'm more mad at myself for not waiting a week to decide to renew my deluxe. My fault for not being able to wait. lol I think it's awesome that Ganz has all these bonuses for people, and I haven't been able to take part in most of them. I'm sure happy for those who can. I can only imagine the complaints going on at WKN, with everyone demanding they just should give the Dragon away for free to all. I'm surprised Ganz continues to do so much free bonuses when they probably see so much of the complaining.

I do wish they put the dragon on sell later on the though, and some of the other pets that you can only get by contests. I don't want it handed to me for free, but it would be nice to be able to buy it!

You can't stack deluxe memberships on the same account anymore. You can "renew" a deluxe membership 30 days before it expires, but the new deluxe plan won't start until the old one expires. What you can do is buy a single deluxe gift membership and then cancel your auto-renewal on your current plan and then within 30 days before your deluxe expires, you can use the gift membership code for your new deluxe year. You won't get any eStore points for the gift membership until you activate the code right before your existing membership plan expires.

Is that confusing, or what?

Does the dragon come with a code?
If yes, maybe I will can put it in my old account and my new account use the code of membership deluxe...

I was lucky enough to get the Chili Hamster (who I named Pico Boo-he's SOOO cute! ) The reason I got him was because our deluxe was up anyhow.

I used to have five accounts on deluxe-back when they had that really nice family option. Now we only have two deluxe accounts because more than that is just totally unrealistic for us in the monetary sense.

I am, of course, totally bummed that we won't be getting this dragon...I mean, seriously, I'm dragonbird after all so of course I like my dragons and birds...I guess I'm just really glad that this isn't a DRAGONBIRD because to miss out on THAT would have been too much. BUT even though I'm a little down about it, I can't say that I blame them for making the offers more and more enticing. You know people WILL buckle and get deluxe that wouldn't have before....I just have to ignore my disappointment for the greater good..

If you are right then this should be put on the front page so that any WW member who does not have a currently expiring deluxe account can get a dragon.

I'm guessing that the reason for this is that this is the anniversary of when the Family Deluxe option was removed by Ganz. Those of us who were keeping multiple accounts alive by purchasing the Family Deluxe instead of buying pets were about to have to make a decision on what to do - and a lot of us decided not to renew our deluxe because without the family deluxe it isn't worth it - I have tons of unspent points so no need for those and I don't need to renew because by adding a HOP bunny on each account now they won't expire (yes I know accounts don't expire any more but if I can't trade from them there is no point to having most of the extra accounts).

So... just as my family deluxe option is expiring GANZ puts out this tempting offer - but I think I'll stick with my Hopping Bunnies and wave goodbye to the Gold Trading room. Nice though it is I don't have $45 to spend on a dragon of any colour.

anyone who has been using the Deluxe option to keep multiple accounts alive
